It always made me wonder that over the next few hundred years, humans will still suffer from our bodily functions.

Like flatulence. Just a bit of gas build up in our system that releases itself from time to time and sometimes without our control.

And if Data is ‘fully functional’ does he have a randomised system to release a little pluff of gas from time to time just so he could be like everyone else?

Since there’s only one bathroom, I’ve been assuming that engineering just teleports all the bodily waste out of the crew and directly into the replicators’ matter feeds, Hogwarts-style. Saves time, keeps the crew light and active, keeps the transport operators sharp while between planets.
